What a hard team to root....

I know y’all know how I feel as longtime Panthers fans. The team does just enough to give you hope and suck you in, and crush your dreams like a crowbar to the skull. I have seen this story too many times and I’m sick of it. I really don’t know how much more of it I can take.

Not gonna lie was fully expecting 2010 levels of suck and maybe even 2001 levels, have been pleasantly surprised. Even with the rollercoaster of emotions and the mistakes lots of optimism for the future and way earlier than I wouldve guessed.

Whenever we get to the point of being happy that were not getting blown out, you start to feel a whole lot like the fan bases in NY and Ohio.

But I think Rhule is a good signing. Expectations need to be tempered this year. Next year we will know alot more. Let's see if he can make adjustments. Phil snow has been a let down. Teddy was a bad signing. But other than that I'm willing to let go as growing pains. Like game management, and play calling. So many games where if the right QB was in we win. So that's a hard pill to swallow, but on that I could as long as they make a change. 

If they come back next year without a promising Rookie on the roster to take his place when he shits the bed again next year I'll be done.

Said it in the other thread, but this really feels like the hardest Panthers team for me to watch, ever.  Even worse than the 2001 team...  and it all starts with Teddy and this staff's insistence that he's their guy.

That is rough, Teddy hasn't earned the hate I have for Weinke. I dont think we could get someone at that level again. I think we got used to real good d, and the lack of has been the hardest pill to swallow recently.

Yeah, but even though this defense sucks, they have come up consistently when it mattered and gave the offense the chance to win or tie the game, almost every game, and Teddy and Brady are the ones that blow it.

Weiner was what he was, but we weren't tied to him.  Nor did we have a coaching staff telling us he was the franchise QB or QB of the future, but we are financially tied to Teddy for at least 2 years and this staff is adamant about him being the guy despite everything we're seeing.  And again, considering his clutch moment performances this season, that is an equally rough pill to swallow.

Edit: lol Autocorrect turned Weinke into Weiner.

You're proving exactly what the issue is. They just keep trotting him out there thinking he's not going to disappoint. And then, he disappoints.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
